DEXHUNT
A Minecraft PvP mod inspired by Dexter, where players must find and hunt hidden killers.
🩸 DexHunt — A Deadly Game of Deception
DexHunt transforms Minecraft multiplayer into a Dexter-inspired PvP investigation game where trust means nothing, and every kill counts.
One player becomes Dexter, the cold-blooded hunter. Others are Potentials, who can turn into Killers after certain conditions are met.
Your goal depends on your role — but remember: only Dexter’s personal kills truly matter.
🧩 Minecraft: 1.21.1 (Forge)

⚔️ Core Gameplay
- Dexter — The vigilante killer hunter. Must eliminate every Killer personally to win.
Uses a Dexter Knife and Syringe for tracking and stunning targets. - Potentials — Regular players who can become Killers by killing 1 player or 20 mobs.
- Once activated:
- They are tagged as [KILLER] in the TAB list.
- Every Dexter receives a Killer Compass pointing directly at them.
🧭 Killer Compass System
The compass is a key mechanic in DexHunt and behaves intelligently:
- When a Killer is active, Dexter gains a Killer Compass for that player.
- If a Killer dies by Dexter’s hand, their compass disappears permanently (they’re put into Spectator mode).
- If a Killer dies from anything else (fall damage, mobs, other players, etc.), the compass:
- Stays in Dexter’s inventory or
- Returns automatically if removed when the Killer isn’t a spectator.
- Dexter keeps all his compasses unless he delivers the kill.
💀 Victory Conditions
- 🩸 Dexter Wins — only when all Killers are personally killed by Dexter.
No automatic win from natural or indirect deaths. - 🔪 Killers Win — when they collectively reach a kill goal (default: 200 mob kills).
- ♻️ The game resets automatically at round end (roles cleared, compasses removed, UI reset).
